Beatrix and Blank should both be optional hidden characters in IX. 
I just started up a new game of IX and I really like Blank's character.

He was also Zidane's best friend (well that's the impression I got from their interaction. I think it would only have been natural that he join the team. I think the part where Zidane has his break down would have been much more emotional if it was Garnet and Blank that came to comfort him at the end instead of Garnet and who ever else came. 
. I'd make the battle just a tad easier so when I died, I wouldn't be as frustrated losing to the cheap villian who emerges at the end of the game
Maybe they could have make Blank a monk and replaced Amarant for him.![]()
Just IMO, fighting Necron in IX was stupidly annoying. I had enough power to handle and kill Kuja and then Necron just randomly appears and now I have to fight him. I don't have certian abilities like haste on all my characters making the battle really tough. I appreciate the effort square made but it annoyed the hell out of me. And when a zombied character dies, he's still a zombie so only a death spell can revive him/her.

Just IMO though![]()
Plus, Necron was alot more than a cheap villain, and he IS explained if you pay attention to the game.
